ITHACA, N.Y. - Senior Sarah Kimball (Liverpool) and junior Kristen Serikstad (Oyster Bay) each established new school records with their performances at the Cornell Big Red Invitational Sunday afternoon.

Kimball cleared 11' 9.75" in the pole vault to finish second in the event and provisionally qualify for the NCAA Division III Championships.

She had tied the school record earlier in the week at 5' 6".

Serikstad also finished second in the javelin with a school record and ECAC-qualifying throw of 119' 10". Sophomore Valerie Winberry (Bay Shore) qualified for ECACs in the discus with a throw of 117' 9" and freshman Brenna Filipello (Bethlehem) posted an ECAC time of 16.05 seconds to finish 10th in the 100-meter hurdles.

Junior Mandy Davey (Amsterdam) missed ECAC qualifying by less than a tenth of a second with her sixth-place time of 1:06.39 in the 400-meter hurdles. Freshman Jenna Evarts (West Islip) placed ninth in the 100-meter dash in 13.39 seconds, followed by freshman Brittani Sahm (Phoenix/John C. Birdlebough) in 10th place (13.49).
